It helps that I studied several eras in my degree, but there's only so much we can remember!Rosemary Gemmellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09311840205603508422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8789745469390288467.post-57792991429241250862012-01-20T06:21:17.858-08:002012-01-20T06:21:17.858-08:00That's a great idea, Romy.

I've always been too intimidated to write a historical story because I knew I'd never get it completely, though I simply love to read them. <br /><br />Your research technique doesn't sound so very intimidating though.Linda Kagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00259042112816376940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8789745469390288467.post-33745303258107953252012-01-19T14:28:49.193-08:002012-01-19T14:28:49.193-08:00Hi Adriana - thanks for commenting and following! ...Hi Adriana - thanks for commenting and following!

The one time I tried to Google information for a story (it wasn't a historical, but I needed accurate information for a plot point), I was utterly lost. I couldn't figure out which resources were trustworthy and which weren't. Looking forward to reading more! :)<br /><br />AdrianaAdriana Ryanhttp://adrianaryan.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8789745469390288467.post-5645501937331529862012-01-18T01:10:41.667-08:002012-01-18T01:10:41.667-08:00Hi Carol.
